Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Piggy arrived six and a half years ago as a 5kg piglet. Today Tiggy weighs around 250kg (depending how many Xmas parties she’s been to 😊) As a breed of pig commonly used in pig farming, they’ve been bred to grow extremely large, but as the majority of pigs are killed by the age of six months most don’t live to become a fully grown adult #pigsofig#savebabe#imnotyourham#vegansofig#canberralocals#sanctuary#littleoaksanctuary

When I woke up this morning, I never thought I would be leaving the office early to go rescue a pig with @carlanocarne and @lindabower!

Days before the murderous tradition, Noche Buena, local slaughterhouse owners surrendered a pig to us. For years, we’ve protested this “small scale”, “family owned” hell house, that specializes in allowing customers to pick out an animal and pay a fee for the individual to be violently killed in front of them. Entire families walk out of the facility with the lifeless body of a whole pig, wrapped in clear, plastic body bags.

For the first time ever, we walked away from the slaughterhouse with a smile on our faces. We are so happy that we are able to provide this little girl with a long, wonderful life at a local sanctuary. Never again will she suffer at the hands of humans 💛

On 12/31 as a fundraiser for @alohaanimalsanctuary, I am riding 100 miles on this .75 mile loop. That’s 131 laps. Some friends are going to be joining me for the fun of it but the purpose of this ride is to raise donations to build Oahu’s first farmed animal sanctuary. Their mission is to rescue and educate others about the plight of animals born into a system that wishes to turn their bodies into food. I have never used my body to raise money in this way, so it is new to me, but if you want to support please donate to tinyurl.com/gofundaloha. Construction is already beginning for the sanctuary so this is a sure thing. Link is in my bio. 🐷🚴🏼‍♂️💚 #hundredforhaku#festive500

Popcorn has been with us for one month, and is doing so much good for those around him already. People who were focused on getting their tasks done while running errands are removing themselves from that hustle to see him, people are FaceTiming family members who aren’t around, strangers who probably wouldn’t have even noticed one another end up sharing laughs and stories. People of all ages are making connections that these animals truly do have feelings and personalities.

This is going to be an exciting year with Popcorn, we have so much on the calendar already! Most importantly though, I hope I’m doing as much for Popcorn as he’s doing for me, and others.
